Die Vögel singen nicht mehr (The birds sing no more)
Bombs are flying
Little children crying
Soldiers in despair
Wanting to have his family's care
All I want is death
I say it to my last breath
The pain becomes unbearable
The pain becomes unsharable
My body is mangled and broken
And on my lips lay one phrase spoken
Das Atmen fällt mir ach so schwer (the breathing becomes oh so hard for me)
Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr (and the birds sing no more)
In what name?
Machine guns, artillery
All of which have one purpose
Death and destruction
Those are their true colors.
Young men fighting for their lives
Fighting for a country that doesn't care
It says in the constitution
All men are created equal
If that is true than what're we doing
Killing our brothers and sisters all for what name?
Firing their guns, killing everything in their path
Brothers and sisters dying, all in what name?
